The current version of "Black Flag" (aka original guitarist Greg Ginn with three dudes who joined in the past year) treks on, playing increasingly smaller venues. When they first hit NYC it was for two Warsaw shows (at least one sold out) and a secret show at the very intimate Grand Victory. The second time was at Europa, and now they're coming back for a non-secret show at Grand Victory on October 2. Tickets go on sale Monday (8/11) at 8:55 AM.

The band's only other currently announced show is tonight (8/8) in Texas, the end of a month-long tour. All currently known dates are listed, with a video of them playing "Nervous Breakdown" in LA this past May, below...

Hello waste of sperm and egg, how are you doing? Are you stalking me? You know what I wear or what I'm wearing now? Exactly you don't! Wait are you an oxygen stealing hipster?! If so isn't it you and your ilk that buy over priced clothes that looks old.

This all should not be surprising since BV thinks a guy that throws a rave where a woman is raped is cool.

WTF what? They wrote a story about a rave in Michigan where a woman was raped and they didn't say what a scumbag this rave thrower was for not caring about it. BV supported him by omission or not calling him out for being an uncaring jerk who could be legally held responsible for this and possibly lose the land his bitching rave was thrown when the rape victim's family sues him for it and wins.

Yea and the piece of shit working for BV that posted on facebook said "this guy rules". It's from Aug 5th. They think a guy who throws a party where a woman gets raped and where people OD rules. Fuck em.

"Bob Cervex is over the hill and angry that no one cares about his "I was there in the good old days of hardcore" stories."

Let's say you actually knew me and I was over the hill. What's wrong with being old? Hipsters are into ageism? Good to know! I haven't told any hardcore stories either. Anything else you cancer with legs?

"Bob no point in getting into a back and forth with an intern at Vice Records who signed Keith Morris's third-rate, cut-rate (Black Flag Rip) Off!"

Haha true. Fair enough, good point. Last thing I'm going to say is the rest of the guys: Mike Vallely, Tyler Smith and Brandon Pertzborn are talented guys and they at the very least deserve to have their names mentioned.

You're right that Black Flag was always the Greg Ginn show, but it's not as simple as that. A big reason they broke up the band in the first place was because while Ginn could've replaced Rollins like he replaced every other singer, by that point they admitted Rollins had become a huge part of the band, and it wouldn't be Black Flag without him.

Also, though this "reunion" was an embarrassment from the start, at least Ginn had one of Black Flag's singers from the initial run fronting the band. Other than him, no one in this band now was in it earlier than 2013. Sure Ginn wrote the songs, but a BAND is a BAND, and there is no reason to call this Black Flag. This may as well be Ginn's solo band covering Black Flag songs.

I was cutting the rug
Down at a place called The Jug
With a girl named Linda Lu
When in walked a man
With a gun in his hand
And he was looking for you know who.
He said, "Hey there fellow,
With the hair colored yellow,
Watcha tryin' to prove?
'Cause that's my woman there
And I'm a man who cares
And this might be all for you."

I was scared and fearing for my life.
I was shakin' like a leaf on a tree.
'Cause he was lean, mean,
Big and bad, Lord,
Pointin' that gun at me.
I said, "Wait a minute, mister,
I didn't even kiss her.
Don't want no trouble with you.
And I know you don't owe me
But I wish you'd let me
Ask one favor from you."

[Chorus]
"Won't you give me three steps,
Gimme three steps mister,
Gimme three steps towards the door?
Gimme three steps
Gimme three steps mister,
And you'll never see me no more."

Well the crowd cleared away
And I began to pray
As the water fell on the floor.
And I'm telling you son,
Well, it ain't no fun
Staring straight down a forty-four.
Well he turned and screamed at Linda Lu
And that's the break I was looking for.
And you could hear me screaming a mile away
As I was headed out towards the door.

Hey Bob Cervex, Bartledge and whoever the hell else - Yes...all other issues aside with the guy, Greg Ginn has always been the catalyst of this band. But to try and imply that the current ringers he's collected are on an equal playing field with previous vital contributors to the (quickly diminishing) legacy of Black Flag such as Dez, Rollins, Robo Chuck and, to a lesser extent Ron Reyes...and yes, even Keith Morris, is patently absurd on its face.

I love how one mention of Bartedge sets him off to run off ten crazy posts and invoke Obama in at least one of them.

Yeah Obama plans to bomb ISIS (now just "IS") who are killing Iraqi civilians who don't fit their way of life - you got a problem with that? If you do you're a piece of shit.

Obama led the killing of Osama Bin Laden who masterminded 9/11. Your hero George W.Bush? He says he didn't "spend much time" on OBL. So put a sock in it re: Obama who has also got over 40 uninsured million Americans health insurance and is calling for a $10.10 minimum wage.

Ginn formed and named the band. He put out and distributed all the records for the band. He also booked all the shows and tours for the band. Furthermore he housed and fed Rollins when Rollins first came to LA, might have even paid for Rollins to come out to LA to join the band.

The drums and bass were written off the guitar. The lyrics were written off the music.

No one ever said Ginn played all the instruments on record (he certainly didn't live haha.)

Therefore, no Greg Ginn, no Black Flag, so spare us your percentage breakdown of who did what.

Again no Greg Ginn, no Black Flag, no Keith forming Circle Jerks, Midget Handjob, or Off!, or Rollins forming Rollins Band and doing everything else he's done. Keith and Henry made their names off Black Flag.

Oh yeah - Black Flag would've still existed without Keith or Henry as there were plenty of can't play an instrument egomaniacs from So Cal like them to choose from for a singer. Look at BF's current vocalist now (as big an egomaniac as there ever was.) Quite honestly, Keith and Henry were lucky to be accepted into the band.

Would BF have been as successful without Keith and Henry? Who knows? Keith would've never formed Circle Jerks and Henry Rollins would've never formed Rollins Band, done his spoken word, or put out books without being in Black Flag first.

7:07 put down you're pathetic flip phone and click on askjeeves.com on what an iPhone does. I'm not home but I am sitting here by the Red Hook waterfront as your sister is blowing me. She isn't doing that good a job though. Failure must be genetic. Have a great evening bud!

Bartedge you don't post on let alone own an iPhone you Assurance Wireless candybar phone bitch and you're not in Red Hook and if you were why are you at the Red Hook waterfront? Looking to blow men you closet homosexual? Yep.

Hey fuckstick (Bartedge) if BV wants to ban whatever speech they want to ban they can because it's their comments section not yours as much you think it is with your endless psychobabble.

BTW if you believe in freedom of speech so much you must believe in freedom from reprial from it, so why don't you put a name to what you say you sniveling coward? I don't have to put a name to mine because I'm not running my mouth about people behind their backs like you.
